despite growing up in the most
crime-filled neighborhood of Dakota City
Virgil Hawkins was a pretty chill guy
he's been his time playing D&D reading
comics you know typical nerd stuff fight
he had one major problem the classic
sitcom bully oh teenage story is
complete without it during school he was
frequently harassed by local gang leader
Francis stone
Virgil's only refuge was one of his few
friends larry wade larry convinced
virgil there was only one way to get rid
of Frances for good join his own gang
and pack some heat things got
well pretty intense and Virgil wasn't
having any of it it was time to bail
like DC Comics on their cinematic
universe but the damage was already done
the police arrived and let loose a
massive canister of what seemed to be
tear gas but wasn't yeah this
great-looking mist was actually some
experimental [ __ ] it was supposed to tag
each gang members so the cops could
track them down later but it was
actually laced with radioactive quantum
juice which killed almost everybody hey
hate it when that happens
luckily Virgil was one of the few who
survived but the quantum juice still had
an effect you can say he was shocked to
find out what it did yes he began to
develop electromagnetic powers before
this Virgil always felt out of his
league but now he was in a league of his
own and became the superhero static
a shock to your system hell yeah with
these new powers the guy was unstoppable
he can blow [ __ ] up with electric bolts
quick as lightning make explosion balls
called Nova bums and taser people with
punches to the face right but he's not
just good at shocking people static can
alter the electron attraction of any
object or surface he can erect extremely
durable electromagnetic force fields
that block most attacks he can even move
metal around like a hip young magneto
and slip metal under his feet to take to
the sky his favorite right is the static
saucer a giant frisbee that doubles as a
shield and buzzsaw think about it don't
you wish your car could literally cut
there Trebek oh speaking of which I have
to drive downtown to pick up a new
graduated cylinder I should probably go
before traffic is bad wait you're going
outside you never go outside
I know it's intimidating you earn enough
sunscreen cuz your body's in gross yuck
get it like the character we were
tagging about I don't I'll be fine see
you next week for the battle between
spider-man and static why does he just
use Amazon
